New Zealand‐made Whittaker’s Chocolate will now be available in Fiji to be distributed by the Motibhai Group at its chain of Prouds stores, as well as at a number of major supermarkets and selected fuel stations around the country.

Products will include Whittaker’s Fairtrade 5‐Roll Refined Creamy Milk Block and 72% Dark Ghana Block, and a wide range of other flavours and sizes.

Run by brothers, Andrew and Brian Whittaker along with next generation family members, Matt and Holly, the company was established in New Zealand over 120 years ago. Whittaker’s is still a family‐owned company that has been voted New Zealand’s ‘most trusted brand’ for the past six years.

Whittaker’s Head of International Markets Matt Whittaker said: “We’ve had a limited range of our chocolate in a small number of outlets in Fiji for a number of years, and we source Fijian Ginger for one of our Artisan Collection Blocks from Fijian farms.

‘A LITTLE BIT OF LUXURY’ FROM THE ARTISAN COLLECTION

“We’re delighted to now have this opportunity to build our relationship with chocolate lovers in Fiji.

Products on offer in Fiji will include Whittaker’s Fairtrade 5‐Roll Refined Creamy Milk Block and 72% Dark Ghana Block, and a wide range of other flavours and sizes.

“As well as our absolute commitment to quality, we are also constantly innovating to create new products for our loyal Whittaker’s Chocolate lovers to enjoy.

“In the past couple of years this has included the development of our Artisan Collection, which is something extra special for people seeking a little bit of luxury.”

Sharing similar sentiments, Motibhai Group marketing manager Abraham Gomes believes the Whittaker’s brand will be well received by Fijians from all walks of life.

“We have already started receiving good feedback from customers and the exciting part is that the Whittaker’s range has chocolates to suit every taste bud.”
